Earlier, I had written about Liberal Senator Larry Campbell who wanted to dictate that Canadians spend their post-tax money only on things he considers good for the community, not as the individual sees fit. Now another senator, Celine Hervieux-Payette, the Liberal leader in the Senate is trying to overrule parental authority. In discussing the recent anti-spanking bill passed in the senate, she said it was important "to make sure that parents who are not properly educated" learn it is unacceptable to physically discipline their children.
Who is she to decide how a parent chooses to rear their children?!? And the elitism she has shown in claiming that parents who advocate their right to raise their children as they see fit are "not properly educated" is absolutely despicable and disgusting.
There is a great deal of difference between physical assault and spanking. Hervieux-Payette needs to wake up and realize that just because she is a senator, she doesn't know better than ordinary Canadians.

'Hervieux-Payette says she herself was spanked when she was just two for following a marching band against her father's wishes'
Right there is her justification - apparently her personal experience (how many years ago?) is enough to change laws!
This is right up there with a New York (?) council member who is pushing for public use bathrooms in EVERY retail outlet in the city, as he personally suffers from an age related bladder disorder, and feels that he should have access anyplace at anytime he requires.
The world is going crazy!
Perhaps she should be working out her "Daddy" issues with her non-publicly funded analyst instead of thru the legislature?
There are more problems in the streets of ontario with drug addicts murder etc and the senators think nothing of it in fact the senate never bother to pass the crime bill voted by the PMSH.
The liberal senate are as bad as the liberal party.
Another fine example of why we need an ELECTED senate.
Fire. Them. All.
